Most of my friends are also on a spectrum.

White Amanitas are lethal, never touch those, but with Muscaria you could have some fun.

These are my favorites because of their common name. Destroying Angel.

Fun fact: the survival rate without treatment is about half, but that goes up to ~90% if you get treated quickly. However, it can still destroy your liver. The toxin is thermostable so cooking doesn’t break it down. It is excreted in urine so a lot of the treatment consists of pumping you full of fluids and making you pee a lot. There is no actual antidote to the toxin.

I already voted so I can’t vote for him either.

I stopped in today after months because my friend is launching a game and I wanted to give them a like and a comment. When I left Twitter my feed was just nerd shit and makers.

When I logged in today it was several right wing advertisements at the top. When I went to search it was more Trump shit. I just wanted to support my indie friend. That’s it for me.

After the first three he doesn’t write them as pastiches of other authors and I think they get better.

If you enjoyed this fun fact, start reading The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. Once you get to book 4 come back here and thank me. Tongue eating isopods from beyond the stars play a role there, and appear briefly later in one of his New Management books, although I don’t have the page handy so I’m not sure which one.

Their nastier cousins make an appearance later in the Laundry Files, but I’ll leave what they do a mystery.

If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.

I’ve had DataTraveller sticks since the late 90s/early 00s. Never given me a problem.

This is what I looked like back when I jammed with the console cowboys in cyberspace.

You’ve never been proud of me at all!

Hey, I’m sorry I missed you while I was in town. I love your face anyway and now I’m out here in H-town making bad decisions.

I’ve never had a bad con experience, luckily enough. I love Billy Zane, but I’m afraid if I ever meet him I’ll just ramble about Winter Dragon.

Now I have things to do. I’ll catch you either later this evening or tomorrow.

Frakes was supposed to be here but he has family stuff or something going on. I’m excited about LeVar Burton but I’m afraid I’m going to sit on the floor crying and singing the Reading Rainbow song.

It’s only unpopular because you’re doing it to get them to vote for me. They all know I’m no good.

On an unrelated note, what are you doing up so late? I’m only up because I’m about to head to SA. My buddy has an extra Saturday ticket to Space Con and I’m going to drunkenly and shamelessly flirt with Kate Mulgrew since I don’t think Eugene Cordero or George Takei will be there.

Absolutely fucking not. I’m way more drunk than bigFab. I’m already handing out pamphlets that say “Vote TheFartographer for a fart in every pot and gas in every ass”. I don’t know what it means either, but I definitely voted for you.

Well fuck, I own more work boots than that, not to mention shoes for jogging, shoes for work, and shoes for going out. My work and fashion footwear game is strong.

Fellas, is it gay to have women compliment you because you care about your appearance?

Yep. Comcast doesn’t seem to give the slightest shit.

Up to 20% or more!!!

Sugar or HFCS? I’m actually asking because I don’t know, not to be snotty.

It’s a fucking shame that he has more money than god and couldn’t get someone to help him pick out a cowboy hat that would fit his face. Or tell him when it’s backwards. Or have it properly shaped. Or have it customized in any way.

I have no issue with someone wearing a cowboy hat who has never been near a ranch. I have no issue with people who don’t know what to do with one but want to wear one. They’re practical and can be stylish. I have a huge issue with someone who can afford to have an army of image consultants wearing it incorrectly to pander to idiots who are too cowardly to call him out on it.
